Official Madden Season 12 Thread: Welcome Playstation 3 Overlords!

Where do you want this league to be run?


Results are only viewable after voting.
I seriously can't believe there is not any playoffs or Super Bowls in online league play. You'd think that would be pretty high on the agenda for features with the online leagues.

We'll figure something out though I guess...

Oh okay, I don't really read all the posts closely...I merely skim them and it usually works out for me. I figured with the 1up guys doing that NCAA vs Madden discussion, it all but confirmed the online league debacle. Glad to hear it was all hearsay!! :D

Yeah, you're right. Not like I'll need coverage with that kind of pressure!

Damn...that's outrageous! This would never happen if NFL2k was still around.

I was kidding, if anyone didn't get it.

Anyway

I spent a lot of time last season looking for great youtube videos to post on the Power Rankings.. Extra points if they were cheesy (ideally 80's) songs sung by the team, like the Superbowl Shuffle If you have some time to kill, grab a bucket of popcorn and enjoy some more examples. I have to do this kind of stuff in the offseason to stay fresh.
Please forgive me

Ram It

We Are The 49er's

Modern Videos just don't have the same pizazz.

The Luke Smith Rap

The Bengals' "Fear Da Tiger"

Pittsburgh Fight Song

Rorschach's Victory Song

So I had to look back to..

The Silver and Black Attack

The Eagles get an A for effort with "Buddy's Watching You"

The 49ers Rap

FMT's Tribute to a legend

The All-Time Legend: Grabowski Shuffle

So imagine my surprise when I find out today that I've overlooked this gem..In honor of Pheeniks' first season with us: Can't Touch This; The Miami Dolphins Rap

Howie Long was born to rap. He's no Tom Flores, but he's awesome nonetheless.

according to what i have read online, there is no man lock in this years madden. in other words, you can't tell Champ Bailey to cover Reggie Wayne on every play no matter where wayne lines up.

disappointing!

Really? Wow..that'd be quite the disappointment. I remember us bitching about the lack of that in last year's game. I'd like to know how hard it would have been to add that feature. They had it in the last gen game, so obviously it's possible..but I don't know what it involves on the programming side. I can't imagine it's that big a deal to put it in.

Things like this make me wonder what goes on at Tiburon. Do they just stare at the wonderfully modeled stadiums, or do they actually play the game?

I'm going to be really disappointed if this is the case. Luckily, there are manual on-the-fly subs this year, but that's gonna take forever. It'll be like the days before the put it in on the ps2. :|

They play it, but they play it the same way the random douches online and the "Madden Pros" do.

gunstar i've had a spot reserved for you from the get-go. the problem is i already agreed to give the eagles to CB on the stipulation that he bought a PS3, which he did...

but name another team you want and if a vet isn't occupying that team you can have them!

Of course, a bunch of Chargers :)|), but there's also a couple of Texans! :O Texans = powerhouse! Suck it down, MiG!

Suprisingly, the Vikes show up a lot. They actually have the most in the top 50 out of all the teams and that's not even including AD.

Also, the bay area teams got 1 defensive player and one punter each. :lol High-five, FMT!
Though, Lechler being > Lee is absolute truth!

btw- team ratings for reference:

ibjf2b.jpg


A few way overrated teams, but eh..whatchagonnado. Tiburon bias!

NFC West, AFC East, and AFC West would be ripe for the picking by the top teams in that division if it weren't for the players using the lower tier teams. :p You have FMT in the NFC West, LJ in the AFC East, and Malley in the AFC West. Sorry, Lone, you're screwed again!

I didn't mention zep because he'll be out by week 7.

Looks like my image conked out in my earlier post...

So in the process of moving to a new apartment this long weekend my 360 RROD'd. I guess I tempted the 360 Gods one too many times! :lol

:(

Unsure whether I will be able to get it back in time for Madden 360, so I'm glad we're doing this on the Triple.

As for those player ratings, go Fletch! Best run D in the NFC East confirmed! :D

Oh yeah sorry for the confusion, I am just going with the 360 league because I don't want to have to buy 2 versions of the game.

I still maintain that a fantasy football league based on our madden league would be awesome, provided everyone played straight up. I'd go with either Gore or Jacobs as the number one pick. Jacobs is good for almost 30 touches a game in my hands. :lol

Yeah, I've thought about that too... I would think that Brady/Moss would be easy choices. Jacobs' injury rating is 80. :X Not a safe bet especially with so many touches! Gore's is 88.

I joined for Erin Brockovich discussion
under what FMT said, he could take the Browns away from Bryan (per Vet Rules) and does anyone know Bluemax's league plans?

Theres no way Gunstar should have to pick between those teams...

On the other hand, having the Saints isn't so bad.

He posted in this thread that he's playing. I dunno what the ? is about.

-Miguel is also playing as the Broncos.
-Sable may or may not be playing, but he wants the saints maybeperhaps.
-MWS is not playing.
-Lawblob hasn't posted since his initial post

Only one of those teams is bad. If I were Gunstar, I'd take the Titans. He likes to put pressure on the QB and what better team to do that?

I never run with McNabb, I almost always stay in the pocket. I picked the Saints because I like the fact that they have a good QB, RB, & WR which will help me where I need it on Offense. My Defense is always good but I struggle to score every year.

Trust me dude, VY is $$$ in the passing game...I tore CB a new one with him last year. AND I stayed in the pocket. So like Rors said, you can't go wrong with either team.

Just figured I'd give a update. I got in on the live.com cash back rewards deal and thought I had a ps3 when all of a sudden the ebay user pulled it off ebay after I had paid. Thankfully paypal got all my money back. So I am actively trying to get one, but we'll see if it happens before madden. I do want the saints though if I am in.

Sorry to quote myself, but I don't want to get buried

Any room for a new person to the league? I've been playing online football since 2K1 on Dreamcast, including every online madden since '03. I wasn't kidding about the fins thing either!

All Sim, no cheese. If I had to estimate my career online football record, I'd be a smidgen over .500 (probably 2 games over 500, :lol). I finish my games though, no doubt.
